I have this strange feeling that I am going to be underwhelmed by the blog post.

I subscribe to this timeline, though things are moving a bit faster than it predicted. CIG's path has been set for a while: Slowly but steadily cut out anything that does not make Squadron 42. Put the PU on life support, reduce scope, weasel out of Kickstarter goals, do anything that will let Chris keep his dream of returning to Hollywood alive. The one thing that could really throw a wrench into that plan is if one of the leads for Squadron 42 quit, or something else happens that means the whole thing has to be restarted. That would constitute an ELE.

I'm guessing there's an unfixable problem with the mocap footage and they don't have enough cash for any more reshoots.

Ash1138 posted:chris roberts is one dumb motherfucker It's so they can one day say "look we haven't reset the persistence in two months that means the game actually launched two months ago, so we're actually live right now, no refunds". They're literally going to do exactly this, it's pretty obvious.

From 10 for the Chairman: Episode 82 Apr 11, 2016 @ 23:33 Q: Given that spaceport security and armistice zones are meant to protect against griefing, would it be possible for a REALLY skilled or co-ordinated team of players to circumvent that security for nefarious purposes? Like say a handful of players roleplaying as violent extremists wants to stage a terrorist attack on Terra. A: That is a... interesting ah, question, I would say that... there will be PLACES that it will be almost impossible to do anything in, and then there will be PLACES where there is security and armistice zones that if you're very determined... and, uh, you know... SHUT DOWN security systems and do away with everything else you could potentially cause some mayhem and we'll sort of... GRADUALLY sort of... BUILD that in such a way like... so... so... probbly doing it in the terrorist attack on Terra is gonna be out of the question... ah, but there may be some... SPACE STATIONS OR STUFF that are sort of... KINDA IN BETWEEN where maybe the security isn't... is not as close to the POWER of the UEE... ah, although it does have SECURITY and LAW ENFORCEMENT, but... a determined group of PIRATES could for a very short period of time, cause SOME MAYHEM there and it'll sort of be, you know... we'll have a few of THOSE, we'll have some SAFE PLACES, and then we'll have some COMPLETELY UNSAFE PLACES, ah... and prolly the RISK REWARD of all those PLACES will sort of be FACTORED IN, so, you prolly could make the most nnnnn...mmoney in the sort of... UNSAFEST AREAS... but of course there's a higher risk, aahh... and the SAFE AREAS you don't make as much money, say TRADING and DOING STUFF, but it... it's pretty safe and you're not likely to be ATTACKED and if you are ATTACKED... ahm... you know... there's a lot of BACK UP and HELP that would SHOW UP... so... ah, you know... but... we WILL make it so that, you know, for instance, ah... you know, PERHAPS there COULD BE a... uh... HEIST! in... a really... like... you know, something like the TERRA SYSTEM... ahm... for like a CARGO SHIP full of... I don't know... GOLD BULLION or something... but the HEIST! would have to be INCREDIBLY WELL PLANNED, think of it like the... HEAT HEIST at the beginning of... the film HEAT with, ahm... you know... DE NIRO and... PACINO... ahm... the way you'd have to (jazz hands) TAKE DOWN ALL THE SECURITY SYSTEMS and DO ALL THIS and CO ORDINATE and DO IT ALL AT ONCE... ahm... and you would have a window of you know, a very small AMOUNT OF TIME before you get AWAY WITH THE LOOT, and... those kind of HEISTS would be much more... uhm... kind of... NPC AI driven, in terms of... WHAT YOU'RE HEISTING, maybe that shipment is something that's getting shipped from... BANK OF TERRA to... SOMEWHERE ELSE and someone gets wind of it as a CRIMINAL MISSION and of course there could also be players and other AI that also... PERFORM SECURITY and so... you know that'd be REALLY HARD to do, but if you manage to do it the PAYOFF would be really BIG... and of course you also have the risk of, you know, being a WANTED PERSON and all the rest of stuff... so we'll build those aspect in, we're gonna have... AREAS that will let... ah... that kind of gameplay WORK, and, ah, you know like I said POTENTIALLY there could be some... LESS SAFE uhm... ah... SPACE STATIONS but there will definitely always be some places that... we're just not gonna let you go in and... and... DESTABILISE so like... TERRA-UHR-EARTH... those kinda ones will... pretty much be... ah... you know... pretty SAFE HAVENS and even when you go down onto 'em, you'll, you know, to PASS THROUGH the sort of CUSTOMS or IMMIGRATION you'll have to... ahm... you know... CASH IN or PASS IN your weapons that you have you can't take any weapons with you and they'll scan you going through I think... if you look at THE ARC CORP you'll sort of see the scanner set up and everything so you have to... LAND ON THE OUTSIDE you pass through CUSTOMS and uh, it's all sort of secure, and then there'll be some places that won't have that, like you know I would definitely think that... ahm... you know NIX... ah, you know really LAVSKEESH would be... LESS SECURE in the long run... ah, and that would have more sort of... uhm... kind of... LAW ON THE GROUND so to speak so if you went in there and anyone took a GUN and they started SHOOTING then, you know, maybe, ah.. the local POLICE GUYS would come after you but that's sort of... the things that we'll play with but there'll definitely be places that are SAFE and there'll deinitely be places that WON'T BE SAFE

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:They do. The automated relay drones do so at a set interval since jumping takes fuel. The interval is slow enough that a courier can still beat them (I think it's like every 30 minutes or something). I believe high priority communications override that system so that the relay drone automatically goes as soon as it receives a message. Posting from 10 pages back. Does CR have absolutely no clue that quantum entanglement exists? Lol The info runner sounds like a WW1 runner.

If I didn't already know better, I'd be hoping it was because croberts insisted on using 35mm film for the mocap, or something equally moronic, and all they had was 100s of hours of useless film cans of people prancing about in leotards with pingpong balls all over them like some sort of bizzare art nouveu project. Sadly, that dream died when they showed croberts "directing" Andy Serkiahahahahahahahahahahahaha it's too much.

I don't know about you guys but this answer fill me with confidence in the project! Man, I know it's already been mentioned but his answer to the last question really is one of the most inadvertently illuminating reveals in 10ftC history. If SomethingJones hasn't transcribed this one, man, it is so worthy of it... (Wait I just saw he did it below-- GREAT JOB, SJ!) Chris wants so badly to say "yes, big terrorist attacks can happen"... And as he starts his reply, it seems like he's going to affirm it as he makes up his plan literally on the spot... (I know this was said before by AP but it's really worth repeating because it's rarely THIS obvious...) He wants to affirm it -- then somehow reason prevails and then he walks it back... ...before going forward again and then introducing the possibility of in-game heists and talking about risk/reward/gold/NPC ai/etc.... ...before once again returning to the question about terrorism, then going off on a speculative ramble about Nyx and other goobledegook. This says everything. It says everything you could ever want to know about The Plan. It is being made up on the fly, subject to revision at any moment, totally lacking in focus or detail, completely couched in qualifiers ('maybe', 'sort of, 'i could see...', 'possibly...', 'or we might...', 'and then maybe also...'), poaching mechanics other games in real time, and with no coherent through-line. He showed up, read a question, blurted out whatever was running through his head in real time, and was satisfied he said something. And he did, "THERE IS NO GAMEPLAN. THERE IS NO ROADMAP. HERE, HAVE SOME WORDS SO YOUR CONFIDENCE IN THE PROJECT HOLDS TRUE. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US WITH YOUR MONEY.'

Is it that common for people with the name 'Archer' to do the arrow thing in their signature or did he just lift that too? From here: http://www.archerfriendlywellness.com/ Probably coincidence but considering literally everything else the guy has done seems to be stolen from somewhere else I wouldn't be surprised

To keep it brief my company lost a long term contract because the company it was with with bust, so I have been quickly putting together pitches and quotes to fill in that gap. It's gone well so hopefully in a week I'll be able to slack off once more.

I'll go with: The mo-cap shooting (and voice recording?) that began last week is to redo substantial/majority/all portions of Sq42's story, and either Gary Oldman or Mark Hamill have refused to show up. A recast for the role is required - or sourcing an impressionist.

AP posted:First couple of minutes, he acts like a sulky child because random people haven't been sending him so many gifts. Sorry, I needed to get that off my chest. Can you imagine the reaction if the head of any other company, IN A PRESENTATION TO HIS FINANCIAL BACKERS, said "Oh, but before we get going: noticed no one's send us any presents for a couple of weeks. So if anyone wants to send us anything..." I'm fairly sure Lando ordered that stuff just to get Chris to shut up.
